I am at a critical point in my questioning and I need to clarify what I was saying, because it is a strong statement I made. That is the perception of what the public and the media see with what is going on here today. It is mystifying why the governing authority cannot be given the full report. It suggests, and I am open to correction if I am wrong, that it would put a legal onus on the authority or that it would be in some way infringed by the contents of that report. I hate to put the Comptroller and Auditor General on the spot. I am not asking him to express an opinion, but I would like to get his viewpoint on the governing authority not being given that KPMG report, given the contents that we are aware of. Is that something he feels is proper procedure?
